I'm attempting to create a python toolbox script that geocodes a CSV. It will be my version of the Geocode Addresses tool. What do I need to do to get the Field parameter to accept the 'ADDRESS' field of my CSV? Right now, the 3rd param accepts a Field datatype. I didn't see a good option in parameter controls either. If i run this tool as is I receive errors. Two of the errors mention needing an output parameter, which I'll get to. I'm assuming Error 000800 is referring to the Field parameter, but beyond that I don't really know. Maybe it's in the script itself.
class GeocodeFile:
def __init__(self):
"""Define the tool (tool name is the name of the class)."""
self.label = "Geocode File"
self.description = "Geocodes a local file and saves it back to the same directory."
self.params = arcpy.GetParameterInfo()
